You certainly understand, I am sorry for all you have been through. I am still angry with the dermatologist I was seeing each year I asked about a spot near my lip then finally I felt a lump on the inside of my lip. He said it was a swollen gland! I insisted he do a biopsy and it was basal cell. I never saw him again and found a good MOHS surgeon. I still dont look forward to another lip surgery. I had bandages on my nose and lip at the same time, done two weeks apart. I came home once and told my husband I could not breathe or eat. He reapplied my bandages so I could breathe but eating was a chore for a while. I had an uncle who died from face cancer so I know it is worth it. I tell myself to be thankful it is an easily diagnosed cancer and removed compared to many other types.
